Took the liberty to modify the subject line to answer Mike's antenna 
question.

While I've never used an inverted L, I did investigate this  idea a few 
years ago.

 From what I've read, the antenna is  pretty much omni directional, 
although a few sources refered to it as an oval.

Most sources say that there is a very small   amount of gain ( fraction 
of a db).   The gain is  not broadside, but  is in line with the 
horizontal wire and favors the end towards the vertical  part.   If the 
horizontal wire runs east and west, and the vertical is  at the east 
end, gain will be  to the east.


I think you would have a hard time seeing any gain, and with the 
variables in antenna installation and ground systems,  it's probably a 
moot point.


73, hope to see you on the low bands this year, Steve KW3A
